Forget Santorini tour: 10 Reasons Why You No Longer Need It

1. Hike From Fira to Oia

The best thing to do in Santorini is the walk from Fira to Oia.

This is the single finest thing to do on Santorini-- and also it's complimentary! The views are incredible. The walking takes somewhere in between 2 as well as 5 hrs depending on your rate and the number of photos you stop to take along the method. Begin in Fira and relocate north via Firostefani and after that Imerovigli (this part of the path really feels even more like a village walkway). From Imerovigli to Oia it's a mostly rural path, with Santorini day tour just a few shops or dining establishments. Most people will certainly wish to use a tough running shoe for the walk yet I have actually definitely seen people do it in flip flops. The route isn't totally marked yet it's rather user-friendly: stay on the path that adheres to the edge of the caldera as well as stroll north (when in doubt remain to the left/west). Naturally, it's fine to do the walk in the opposite instructions Santorini island tours yet it feels a lot more natural (to me) to walk north to Oia as well as the island's idea. And strolling right into Oia from the hills above is an amazing surface. If it's July or August I 'd very recommend starting prior to 8am.
